Editorial Review for Gold's Gym – by Drew Pisarra
In Short
The Terminator and the Incredible Hulk (aka Arnold Schwarzenegger and Lou Ferrigno) lifted weights at the gym's Venice, Calif., flagship years ago, but even today, customers frequenting charter loations are bound to encounter serious muscle. Take note: The boys with bulging biceps are the mascots, not the majority. Gold's generally offers Spinning, aerobics and kickboxing classes, yet weight-training remains the core of the program. Dumbbells and barbells, not spa-like amenities, are the rule.

Owners & members walk around acting big but lifting small weight. Equipment is inferior (i.e., synthetic strap (not proper cable) lat pull downs that are set for short people & bottom out for me (I am 5-11), no deadlift station, a lot of pointless equipment). On the plus side they have a bodymasters leg press (the only reason I worked out there) & the toilets flush automatically. I deadlifted there & was told to deadlift quietly (My last deadlift was 455lbs 5 reps & my personal best with a witness is a 575 lb single) so that does not go up & down quietly. I now own my own gym so I know what I am talking about. Postscript - Overheard several bodybuilders that were in town for the Arnold Classic one weekend whisper to each other - This place is a joke! I couldnt agree more.
Pros: Bodymasters leg press, auto flush toilets, a lot of mirrors
Cons: big attitudes, small everything else, pointless equipment
